Professional Tapering Service for Jeans & Pants
Our tapering service is designed for those who want to narrow the leg shape of their jeans for a more tailored fit. The first decision to make is whether you want your jeans tapered only to the knee or above the knee.
-
Knee Tapering: If you're happy with how your jeans fit around the knee and only want to reduce the leg opening size, select the "KNEE" option under the "Type or Style of Tapering" dropdown menu. This option keeps the upper leg shape intact while slimming the lower portion.
-
Standard Tapering: If you want a balanced, natural taper that adjusts both the knee and leg opening, choose "STANDARD." This option allows the tailor to determine the ideal amount to take in from the knee down, ensuring a smooth, proportional look.
-
Custom Tapering: If you have specific measurements—whether from a favorite pair of jeans or a past order—select "CUSTOM." Keep in mind that we taper from the hem to the knee, then blend into the thigh. If you're copying measurements from jeans with a different thigh width than the pair you're altering, the fit and look above the knee may vary.
For best results, ensure your measurements align with your desired fit, and if in doubt, let our experts guide you to the best tapering option for your jeans.

Excellent experience!
I’m so happy with the fit of my jeans and the craftsmanship that went into the alterations. Turnaround time was fast, communication was great and Maurice was helpful as this was my first go at denim customizations. I’m looking forward to using this service again and supporting Williamsburg Garment; the attention to detail is remarkable. Thank you for an excellent experience!

Excellent work
I sent in a pair of raw denim jeans that did not fit as expected. I had low expectations and just hoped they fit a little better. They came back perfect! The staff communicated well to ensure my expectations, and the turnaround time was quick.

Excellent Taper
Williamsburg did an excellent job tapering my 19oz selvedge jeans. They knew to taper from the inseam and they even handled a double felled seam. On top of that, they were very quick. Highly recommend.
